Equipment
- Smoker Grill
Ingredients
- 3 pound tri tip roast
For the dry spice rub:
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Mix the seasonings in a bowl. Season the tri tip using the seasoning mix. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Once the grill is preheated to at least 375° F, set the tri tip on the hot side of the grill and close the lid. Cook the roast for roughly 5 minutes per side to sear the meat all around and get some nice dark grill marks.
- Once the searing is done, move the roast to the cooler side of the grill, off of the direct heat. If you have a leave-in grill thermometer probe, stick that into the thickest part of the meat and close the lid. Watch that the temperature in the grill doesn't go above 400° F.
- The tri tip is done when the instant-read thermometer reads 130° F (54 degrees C), about 15 minutes, for medium-rare. If you want medium, continue cooking to 135° F, about 20 minutes.
- Take the meat off the grill and let it rest for at least 10 minutes wrapped in tin foil. This allows the meat to come up to the proper temperature.
- To serve, slice the roast against the grain in thin slices.
